She said:\u00a0 \u2018Our insurance is excellent. I had a heart attack a year ago - we met our deductible this year, but insurance has paid for everything recommended, including 2 months of cardiac rehab, prescriptions, and hernia surgery this summer. My insurance and my doctors saved my life, and now both are at risk.\u2019\n\u201cOn Facebook, Andrea wrote that she was able to extend a plan for her and her son until next December, and then it would be cancelled.\u00a0 She went on to say, \u2018What happened to if you want to keep your healthcare, you can?\u2019\u201d\n\u201cAnd finally Allen summed up his frustration in one sentence: \u2018I will not have insurance beginning January 1. End of story.\u2019\n\u201cMr. Speaker, these are real stories that affect real people; hardworking families just trying to get by.\n\u201cMr. Speaker, we need to hold the President and Congressional Democrats to their promise.\u201d \nEarlier this week, Bucshon asked for constituents to share their experiences with the Affordable Care Act with him via the website, www.bucshon.house.gov/yourstory.\u00a0 Constituents are still encouraged to send these stories through the webpage, social media, letters, or by calling Bucshon\u2019s office.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://web.archive.org/web/20140221182548/http://bucshon.house.gov/press-release/dr-bucshon-these-are-real-stories-affect-real-people"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5749288722872734, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
